(Published by permission of tlie Trustees of tlae British Museum.) 



DuiiiNG the past summer I received for identification from 

 Dr. Walther Horn (Berlin-Dahlem) a iiu'.nbcr of Formosan 

 mosquitoes collected bj Herr H. Sauter. The chief interest 

 of the collection lay in two new species of Megarhinus (sub- 

 genus To^corliynchites) which it contained, and which are 

 described below. Since little has been recorded concerning 

 the mosquitoes of Formosa, a list is given of the other species 

 contained in the collection. Additional specimens coUectetl 

 by Herr Sauter were subsequently received from the Budapest 

 ]\iuseum through Mr. F. V. Theobald ; the records of these 

 are included in the list, and are distinguished by an 

 asterisk : — 



Anopheles (Anoj^heles) hyrcanus (Pall.). — Toyen, Macuyama, 

 Anping, *Takao. Range of variation considerable, but 

 all of the typical Chinese form (rather light-coloured 

 body, narrow tarsal rings, fringe-spot usually present, 

 palpal rings moderately distinct).
